Heading into Sunday’s matchup between San Diego and Los Angeles, the Dodgers are the favorite on the moneyline. However, I expect the Padres bats to break through against what will likely be several Dodgers pitchers out of the pen. With Mike Clevinger on the mound, look for San Diego to pull off the upset.
